ELLIE FELT HER EYES WATER AS FLORA FIX ELLIE'S EYELINER. Flora grabbed some tissue and gave it to her daughter.

"Would you stop moving? You'd end up going to the dance having a literal black eye." Ellie turn to the mirror and saw herself. 

She was looking different since her makeup and hair were done by her mother. It was so not like her. But as Ellie saw herself to the mirror, she noticed resemblance from Flora. Which everyone see as a beautiful lady.

"Red lipstick suits you rather than pink." Ellie saw her as if she was about to cry and all. But quickly, she composed herself not wanting to worry Ellie.

"I'm so excited meeting this EJ." her mom said changing the topic. She was stating the truth. She was all curious about the guy that plucked his courage on asking Ellie out.

"He's just a male friend." Ellie explained as she wipes the excess make up that she wears.

"Oh really?" Ellie explains the reason why EJ asked her out in the first place. Flora was surprised and at the same time disappointed. But as Ellie explained to Flora , she could sense and  understand why he's doing all of it.

It's because of love.

"Done!" Ellie bit her lower lip and turn to her mother. Who just stopped and gaze at her daughter, her hand in front of her mouth. 

She was about to utter something but she was interrupted by the doorbell. Flora smiled and to see who it was. As Flora left, Ellie stared at herself to the mirror. Her eyes popped up because of the eye makeup Flora did. Ellie's hair were left falling like what Flora wants. Though, at first she thought wouldn't suit her dress but to her surprise it looked better.

Ellie felt the painful texture of her shoes. She pulled the heels she was wearing and saw her feet were all red because of the texture of the heels. Hastily she changed into a black high cut converse.

Flora called and quickly Ellie went downstairs. Ellie was expecting EJ to be there in a suit waiting for her. As expected, her crush was waiting in their living  room. Looking dashing and all, as usual.

When EJ noticed Ellie, his eyes paused at her. Eyes widen at how beautiful Ellie is. EJ smiled at Ellie, which Ellie returned also. Then Flora noticed also the shoes she was wearing, but ignored it since Ellie want it that way.

Those were the things that will make Ellie 'Ellie'.

The loud music made Ricky head ache. They were all dancing and enjoying but he wasn't. His eyes wander as he waited for the only person he was waiting for. He had been planning on talking to her and hang out with her this couple of days but he couldn't because of the kiss. 

And somehow, at that very moment Ricky felt wretched.

"I think I need a drink." Ricky stated as he left the table. He made his way at the snack section.

His bandaged hand, grabbed some juice. His hands weren't in pain unlike before.

Ricky felt a bit nauseated. He wasn't expecting this party would make him bored in a such position. He was expecting it to be more fun but unfortunately Nini wasn't around and so was Ellie.
